Question

read the poem \the drowsy world dreams on.\
a flower bloomed out on a woodland hill,
a song rose up from the woodland rill;
but the floweret bloomed but to wither away,
and no man heard what the stream had to say,
for the drowsy world dreamed on.

tlro the frills of a curtain a moonbeam crept,
till it fell on the crib where a nursling slept;
and a whisper and smile lit a wee dimpled face,
but none save the angels their beauty could trace,
for the drowsy world dreamed on.

a wee bird piped out mid the corn,
a rose bloomed out beneath the thorn;
but the scent of the rose and the birdlings lay
on the winds of the morning were wafted away
while the drowsy world dreamed on.

and the drowsy old worlds growing gloomy and gray,
while the joys that are sweetest are passing away,
and the charms that inspire like the picture of dawn
are but playthings of time—they gleam and are gone,
while the drowsy world dreams on.

Explanation:

The poem highlights small, fleeting moments of beauty (a blooming flower, a sleeping child, a bird's song, a rose) that go unnoticed by the "drowsy world." The correct analysis connects these overlooked, gentle moments of wonder to the world's indifference, emphasizing that life's simple pleasures are often ignored.

Answer:

By contrasting fleeting moments of wonder with the world's indifference, the poet emphasizes that life's simple pleasures are often overlooked
